Fox 2/7

The car has been in the southern US, so hopefully not much rust. Thanks for the heads up on the defrost, I hadn't thought of that.

Thanks, I live in Alabama and we've yet to start inspections.

Thanks ahead of time for all of your help. I may be posting in the wrong section and if I am please excuse me, it's my first post. I have just begun to look for a z to buy and I'm going Saturday, that's why I posted in the urgent section, to look at a 76 one owner car with 176k miles. I am a completely ignorant about the 280z but I love the looks of the car and I know it has a good reputation among its owners. What I'd like to know is: 1. What's the price range for a fixer upper that runs, to one that is say an 8 out of 10, keeping in mind the year and the miles on this car? 2. Anything specific to the 280z that I should look for? 3. How difficult are parts to find? 4. If the 176k miles are on the original engine without it having been rebuilt should I expect to get many more miles or is a rebuild in the near future? 5. What kind of mileage does a 4 speed z get, I'm going to be driving it to work everyday, abut 90 miles round trip? 6. What engines were available? One more bit of information about the car is the asking price of 2500 and its all original.
